Liverpool, Merseyside
Nestled among the traditional Victorian terraces and villas, in the private Cressington Park estate, is a 1970s modernist five-bedroom detached house. The large aluminium-framed glazed panels are the stand-out feature and flood the interiors with light. Downstairs there are open-plan living spaces, a bespoke oak kitchen and three bedrooms – one now used as a gym. It is a two-minute walk to the River Mersey promenade and a 12-minute train ride into the city centre with its wide array of art galleries, pubs and restaurants. £1.25m.

Bath, Somerset
This terraced row of new cottages has been built in a Georgian style to complement Bath’s architectural vernacular. It forms part of Holburne Park in 2.4 hectares (six acres) of green space in the north-east of the city. In the middle of the terrace is a neat four-bedroom home for sale. Despite the traditionally inspired exterior the inside has been designed to modern tastes with a front-to-back open-plan layout downstairs. It is a few minutes’ drive into the city centre with its busy cultural calendar, including the Bath festival. £860,000. Savills, 01225 302 888
